New APS Chief of Police promises honesty. And unicorns. And faeries ...

Under normal circumstances the newly minted Chief of APS' Praetorian Guard, Steve Gallegos would not make so bold a promise as to be(come) an honest APS Chief of Police.

It's rather like standing in front of burning building promising you'll never light another one on fire.

The leadership of the APS; school board members, the superintendent and senior administrators, have been nothing but dishonest about the corruption and incompetence in the leadership of their publicly funded private police force.

According APS' award winning website, link; Gallegos says;

I plan to create a culture of honesty ...
If ever there were anyone singularly incapable of creating a culture of honesty it is someone who is manifestly dishonest.

If there ever were a person incapable of telling the truth in the future, it is someone who is unwilling to tell the truth about the past.

The board and superintendent have yet to be honest about even one of the many investigations into felony criminal misconduct in the leadership of their police force.  Not one word.  Even in the most blatant and egregious defiance of the spirit of public records law.

APS friend KOB TV ran the story about Gallegos late on a Friday and as far as I can tell, is providing no link to their report. The Journal ran it this morning, deeply buried.

The credentialed media and those who credential them
are part and parcel in the cover up of a cover up of felony
criminal misconduct involving senior APS administrators.

If there is another explanation, I cannot imagine it.
And so far, no one of them has articulated any other
explanation at all for their relentless refusal to investigate
and report upon credible evidence of public corruption
and incompetence in the leadership of the APS.

Journal Editor Kent Walz and his counterparts in the broadcast media suffer the same problem as Gallegos when it comes to any credibility in the future.
How can you promise to be honest in the future without first being honest in the present about the past?
How can any of them report credibly on the corruption in the leadership of the APS, without first reporting credibly on their failure to report credibly heretofore?
